There are only two correct results sin(0x1p1000) can give, either of the nearest representable neighbors (less than 1ulp error) of the number 2**1000. Your fallacy is writing PI in your example. There is no such floating point number as PI, and this is part of why implementing correct trig functions is nontrivial; implementing ones that work in degree units, or a base-2 division of the unit circle, would be much easier. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
